A Lady in Disguise

Sandra Byrd

Historical FictionFour out of Five

A Lady in Disguise was as much of
an entertaining read as Mist of Midnight, which I enjoyed immensely.

Springtime in Victorian England
of 1883 finds Gillian Young has become an orphan in her mid-twenties. Her
father, a policeman, has recently died in an accident—or so Gilliam assumes—until
small pieces of evidence start appearing.

Lord Thomas Lockwood steps into
her life. Gillian has not seen him since childhood and he seems to want to draw
closer to her. She feels the same way but is unsure who to trust as events in
her life unfold, leaving her uncertain who to turn to.

There are many things I could say
about this story. The writing is creative, enduring at times, and full of
suspense. After a few chapters I found myself not trusting any of the characters!
This made for a delightful read. I could list a number of quotes from this
novel but one of my favorites is, 'The Lord may care for the birds of the air,
but He does not drop food into their nests. Each of us must carry part of the
load.'
